A
Four Waterways That Connect the World
The Strait of Hormuz
This 167-kilometer passage is one of the world’s most important routes for energy, serving as the main route for Persian Gulf oil. It handles 20% of global oil and 25% of natural gas. Since major producers rely on it, even a brief closure could seriously affect the global energy market, and fuel prices around the world could quickly increase.
The Strait of Malacca
Stretching almost 800 kilometers, this is the shortest sea route connecting the Middle East with East Asia. Over 100,000 ships pass through every year, carrying 25% of the world’s trade. At its narrowest, it is only 2.8 kilometers wide, making navigation (航行) and safety highly challenging for large modern ships.
The Bab-el-Mandeb
Also called the “Gate of Tears” because of the dangers sailors faced long ago, this 29-kilometer-wide strait links the Indian Ocean with the Red Sea. Carrying 12% of global trade, it connects Europe and Asia. If it were closed, ships would have to sail thousands of extra miles around the southern tip of Africa.
The Suez Canal
This man-made waterway in Egypt connects the Mediterranean (地中海) to the Red Sea. Handling 20,000 ships yearly, it carries 12% of global trade and 10% of the world’s oil. Its importance became clear in 2021 when a giant ship caused a blockage, costing the global economy about $9.6 billion a day.
1. What will happen if the Strait of Hormuz closes
A．Global oil production stops.
B．Worldwide deliveries delay.
C．International fuel price rises.
D．Major producers close down.
2. What is true about the Strait of Malacca
A．It was once blocked in 2021.
B．It carries a quarter of the world’s trade.
C．It is only 2.8 kilometers wide.
D．It links the Pacific Ocean with the Red Sea.
3. What do the Bab-el-Mandeb and the Suez Canal have in common
A．Both are dangerous for sailors.
B．Both are man-made.
C．Both handle 100,000 ships yearly.
D．Both link to the Red Sea.

When 26-year-old Sun Shuangshuang carries a 40-kilogram bag of cornmeal to the pig farm in her small village, it’s hard to believe she once worked in a modern office in the city.
As a university graduate, when asked if returning to rural (乡村的) farming was a waste of her education, Sun laughed. “There are many choices in life. It’s time to break free from outdated ideas.” For Sun, using her knowledge to open markets and promote rural values is the true purpose of education.
The path hasn’t always been smooth. In 2023, a serious disease nearly destroyed Sun’s pig farm. But when things seemed most difficult, help arrived. The local government sent experts to provide guidance and promised funds to build a new farm. This support convinced her to commit to rural life.
Social media plays a big role in her business. In her weekly livestreams (直播), Sun sells hundreds of kilograms of pork. She also uses her influence to help others. Every two weeks, she hosts a livestream to sell local products for villagers. “At first, they didn’t believe I could sell their dried vegetables to people outside the village,” Sun recalled. “But when I handed them the money, their happiness was infectious (有感染力的).”
Sun’s desire to help others is deeply rooted in her childhood. Raised by her grandparents as a left-behind child, she remembers how they always thought of others, yet lived simply themselves. Later, attending university through scholarships gave her a deeper understanding of the power of support.
When asked about her choice, Sun’s answer is simple. “Life in the countryside means more physical work, but it brings me peace of mind,” she explained. “Everything I do now is essentially so I can continue living here.”
4. What does Sun think of her return to the countryside
A．It changes her outdated ideas.
B．It offers her more freedom.
C．It reflects her education’s value.
D．It helps her escape city life.
5. What was the villagers’ attitude when Sun first offered to help
A．Grateful.
B．Uncaring.
C．Doubtful.
D．Supportive.
6. What made Sun such a warm-hearted person
A．Her previous life experiences.
B．Her professional background.
C．Her interaction with the villagers.
D．Her grandparents’ expectations.
7. Which is the best title for the text
A．From City Life to Rural Roots
B．The Battle to Defend the Pig Farm
C．New Career Choices for Graduates
D．A Livestreaming Star in the Village
C
Bus shelters (公交候车亭) are typically designed to offer protection from the elements or display advertisements. But in some cities, they are doing something more: being turned into living gardens.
A green bus shelter involves more than just throwing soil on a normal roof. The structure must support significant weight, including soil, vegetation, and rainwater. Above the roof is a waterproof layer preventing plant roots from growing downward. On top of this layer sits a drainage (排水) system, which collects rainwater and gradually releases any extra water to stop city drains from flooding.
For vegetation, native plants are ideal because they support local biodiversity. In some cities, green bus stops have attracted butterflies, bees, and birds. However, the most common plants are lightweight succulents that can survive and grow well even when soil and water are limited.
One major advantage of these shelters is their ability to fight the urban heat island (UHI) effect. While dark urban roads take in heat, making the air warmer, living roofs provide shade and hold water long enough to release moisture (水汽) into the air, which helps reduce local temperatures. They have been documented to reduce surrounding temperatures by up to 6 ℃.
Furthermore, these green roofs benefit local wildlife. By placing living roofs in specific locations, several cities have created “bee lines”, giving insects essential places to rest and feed.
Though seemingly small, these green projects influence how people view urban vegetation. When applied widely, they bring real environmental benefits. It is estimated that if 8,000 bus stops had living roofs, it would create 17 acres of green space — roughly the size of 13 football fields.
8. What can we know about the waterproof layer
A．It prevents plants from growing upwards.
B．It collects rainwater and release extra water.
C．It helps support the significant weight of soil.
D．It lies between the roof and the drainage system.
9. What makes lightweight succulents popular for green bus shelters
A．Their strong adaptability.
B．Their role in local biodiversity.
C．Their appealing appearance.
D．Their attraction to local wildlife.
10. Why does the author mention dark urban roads in paragraph 4
A．To explain why the roads are dark.
B．To analyze the impacts of UHI effect.
C．To show the significance of urban roads.
D．To stress the cooling effect of green shelters.
11. What can be expected about the future of green bus shelters
A．They may replace many cities’ football fields.
B．They may make a big difference if widely used.
C．They may change people’s view about bus stops.
D．They may remain too small to have much impact.
D
Suppose you walk up to the door of a club only open to humans, and there stands a robot guard. It narrows its camera eyes and says, “Prove you’re not AI. One word.” Which word would you try Maybe some impressive words But the best answer is smaller and less confident: “um.”
Not a loud “UM” that you’re yelling at your mum from the other room. Just a soft, shaky “um” — the sound your brain makes when it needs a second to catch up. The sound “um” is like a tiny verbal shrug (耸肩). It happens when your thoughts arrive late and you are waiting until they find a chair. Language experts call it a filled pause (停顿), and it helps humans plan speech, take turns in conversation, and correct themselves in real time.
That is why “um” is such a perfect human password. Humans do not run smoothly. We buffer. We hesitate. We restart mid-sentence like a laptop with too many windows open. Unlike a machine, our hesitation is not just a delay. It is often packed with feelings.
Sometimes “um” is funny. It is the noise you make when you forget what you were saying and try to pretend you meant to pause. But sometimes it is heavier. The sound “um” can appear when you are nervous, embarrassed, or trying to say something that really matters. It can be the sound of fear, or the sound of kindness searching for the right words so you do not hurt someone.
That is the real difference between AI and humanity: humans are messy in a strangely beautiful way. We feel strong emotions — joy, guilt, love, and hope. We care, even when caring is inconvenient. We get things wrong, and then try again.
Could AI generate the word “um” Sure. But could it mean it Could it feel the courage of saying “I’m sorry,” or the panic of caring too much
Um... probably not.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A．By listing some data.
B．By presenting a fact.
C．By describing a scene.
D．By quoting an expert.
13. What does the underlined word “buffer” mean in paragraph 3
A．Nod gently.
B．Pause briefly.
C．Speak smoothly.
D．Reply quickly.
14. Who might use “um” out of kindness according to paragraph 4
A．A girl who forgets her lines on stage.
B．A woman who speaks in broken English.
C．A man who finds himself in great danger.
D．A boy who wants to say “no” to his friend.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A．Filled pauses like “um” help people communicate.
B．Saying “um” reflects something human about us.
C．Paused speeches make communication effective.
D．Artificial intelligence is no match for humans.

During a Dragon Boat Festival event in Shenyang, Russian students Sasha and Nikita learned to make zongzi and sachets (香囊) from local residents. Among them, Grandma Chen was very kind and invited them to her home the next day.
The next afternoon, Sasha and Nikita arrived. Grandma Chen welcomed them warmly. But her granddaughter, Xiaofang, was clearly upset. “Grandma,” Xiaofang said sharply, “you got sick last year from working too much. Why bother teaching foreigners They won’t truly understand our traditions.” She quickly glanced at Sasha and Nikita, then looked away.
Although she couldn’t understand every Chinese word Xiaofang said, Sasha could feel her unhappiness. Sasha felt sad. Grandma Chen, though, spoke firmly, “Traditions have no borders, Xiaofang. If they want to learn, I will teach them.” She gave Sasha and Nikita a warm look.
They began making sachets. Sasha’s stitches (针脚) were messy; Nikita accidentally tore the cloth. Xiaofang sighed loudly, “See ” she murmured, then walked away. After two hours, Sasha finished a simple sachet. It wasn’t perfect, but it showed her effort. She gave it to Grandma. “For you, Grandma Chen — thank you for being so kind.” Grandma’s eyes softened. “Oh, my dear, you are so sweet,” she said.
Later, Sasha and Nikita taught Grandma a few Russian words and tried making simple Russian pancakes with jam. Laughter filled the house. That evening, they shared both zongzi and pancakes. As they ate, Grandma Chen said, “I’ve never been abroad in my life, but today the world doesn’t feel so far away.” Xiaofang stayed quiet, then busy cleaning. She often avoided eye contact.
Before leaving, Sasha hugged Grandma. “Can we come again next week ” she asked. Grandma nodded happily. “Of course.” Xiaofang turned around, her lips parting as if to say something.

Dear Chris,
How is everything going I’m writing to share my experience of the class Daily Labor Check-in activity during May Day holiday.
Every day I took part in different labor work. I cleaned my room, washed dishes and helped my parents water vegetables in the yard. I took photos each day and posted them in our class group to finish the check-in.
This activity brought great changes to me. I used to be lazy and seldom did housework. Now I realize how tiring housework is and I learn to value my parents’ hard work. I also become more patient and responsible.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
